Student Internships

Internships with a wide range of public history and heritage organisations and properties are offered to students taking the Public History Internship module of the MA in History at Queen’s University Belfast.

The internships, which last for about 14 days over the course of the Spring semester, offer valuable insight in to the opportunities and challenges involved in presenting history to public audiences and provide students with hands-on experience of working in this field. Round-table discussions, workshops and field trips provide opportunities for students and people working in heritage bodies, museums, archives and historic houses to meet and discuss issues in an informal environment.

In these pages you can find out about our current interns and the work they are doing across Northern Ireland. ‘Where they are now‘ features past interns who have moved on to roles within the heritage sector. Find out more about the MA programme here.

Alison Quinn with her son Cein, 7, who live in the mainly Catholic lower Falls area of Belfast, Northern Ireland, are seen Wednesday, April, 10, 2008. They live in a new development where their house backs on to one of Belfast’s many peace walls. Lee Young, 8, and Cein Quinn, 7, live barely 200 yards from each other, but they probably will never meet. Lee is Protestant, Cein a Catholic _ and their communities in Belfast’s west inner city are separated by a wall called a peace line. It’s nearly 40 years old and 40 feet (12 meters) high.
